Sulfur Dioxide -most dangerous gaseous pollutants

Sulfur Dioxide is one of the most dangerous gaseous pollutants for the mankind The lungs and mans respiratory system are affected by it . It causes strong irritation to the eyes and skin. It even destroys the enamel on teeth. Many effects of this gas on man are permanent and irreparable.

Burning of oil and coal are the main reason for the production of this gas. Different kinds of coal and oil have different amounts of sulfur That is reason more sulfur dioxide will produce from the burning. If coal with a high sulfur content is burned,more sulfur dioxide will be produced. and enter the atmosphere as sulfur dioxide gas.

Effects of Air pollution on Humans

Effects of Air Pollution to

1. Humans .
2. Animals
3. Vegetation
4. Material
5. Atmospheric System
Effects of Air pollution on Humans
Most of people spend their time indoors, there is Air pollution in homes, offices, shopping malls & areas.
Air Pollution mainly damages the Respiratory system.
This damages can be studied through scientific ways.

1. Clinical
2. Epidemiological using the health records
3. Theological using animals

The Effects of Air Pollution on Human & Animals depend on exposure time.
If the time of Exposure is small in the high concentration the effect will be mild.
But if the exposure is for extended period, in the low concentration, the effect can be bad.
Effects of Air Pollution on vegetation is of many kinds. Sulfur dioxide can damage crops & trees. Hydrogen fluoride & nitrogen dioxide can damage ornamental plants & fruit trees. Ozone & ethylene cause damage to vegetation.
Effect of Air pollution to the Materials it damage ferrous Metals Nonferrous Metals like Aluminum, Copper, Silver, Nickel &
Building Materials -Paint, leather, Paper, Textile, Dyes, Rubber,
Ceramics
Effect of Air Pollution to the Atmosphere.
It changes the dynamics of atmosphere through the long & short wave radiation Processes
Carbon dioxide increases the temperature of surface due to which the temperature of the atmosphere will increase ,cause serious environment effects.
